🚀 Feature 1: Nginx Provider (Open Source)¶

Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED (Commits: 3fbd1e0, 5982ee5) Priority: 🔴 High Effort: 3 Wochen

✅ Implementation Summary¶

Provider: gal/providers/nginx.py (223 lines, 99% coverage) - Complete nginx.conf generation - Support for all load balancing algorithms (round_robin, least_conn, ip_hash, weighted) - Rate limiting (limit_req_zone, limit_req) - Basic authentication (auth_basic, htpasswd) - Header manipulation (request/response) - CORS policies (add_header directives) - Passive health checks (max_fails, fail_timeout) - Template variable conversion ({{uuid}} → $request_id, {{now}} → $time_iso8601)

Tests: tests/test_nginx.py (25 tests, all passing) - Provider basics, validation warnings - Load balancing (all 4 algorithms) - Passive health checks - Rate limiting (IP-based, header-based) - Authentication (basic, API key, JWT) - Header manipulation - CORS policies - Multiple services/routes - All features combined

Documentation: docs/guides/NGINX.md (1000+ lines, German) - Übersicht & Feature-Matrix - Installation & Setup - Feature-by-Feature Anleitungen - Provider-Vergleich - Nginx-spezifische Details - OpenResty Integration (JWT, API Key) - Best Practices & Troubleshooting

Examples: examples/nginx-example.yaml (15 production-ready scenarios) - Basic Reverse Proxy - Load Balancing (Round Robin, Least Conn, IP Hash, Weighted) - Passive Health Checks - Rate Limiting (IP-based, Header-based) - Basic Authentication - Request/Response Headers - CORS Configuration - Combined Features (Production API) - Microservices Architecture - Static Content + API Hybrid

CLI Integration: ✅ Complete - Added NginxProvider to all commands - Extension map: nginx → .conf - Verified config generation works

Limitations: - ❌ No Active Health Checks (Nginx Plus only) - ⚠️ JWT Auth requires OpenResty/Lua - ⚠️ Circuit Breaker requires Lua

Motivation¶

Nginx ist der #1 Web Server weltweit (>30% Marktanteil)
Weit verbreitet als Reverse Proxy und Load Balancer
Leichtgewichtig und performant
Große Community und umfangreiche Dokumentation
Gute Basis für später: Nginx Plus Support (v1.3.0)

Nginx Capabilities (Open Source)¶

Unterstützte Features: - ✅ Reverse Proxy - ✅ Load Balancing (Round Robin, Least Connections, IP Hash, Weighted) - ✅ HTTP/HTTPS/HTTP2 - ✅ SSL/TLS Termination - ✅ Rate Limiting (ngx_http_limit_req_module) - ✅ Basic Authentication (ngx_http_auth_basic_module) - ✅ Header Manipulation (add_header, proxy_set_header) - ✅ CORS (via add_header directives) - ✅ Health Checks (passive via proxy_next_upstream) - ✅ Upstream Targets mit Gewichtung - ⚠️ JWT Auth (nur mit OpenResty/Lua) - ⚠️ Circuit Breaker (limitiert, via Lua)

Einschränkungen: - ❌ Keine nativen Active Health Checks (nur Nginx Plus) - ❌ Keine native JWT Validation (benötigt Lua/OpenResty) - ❌ Keine Dynamic Configuration (ohne Plus) - ❌ Limitierte Observability (ohne Plus)

Implementation Tasks¶

1. Provider Klasse (`gal/providers/nginx.py`)¶

class NginxProvider(Provider):
    """Nginx Open Source Gateway Provider.

    Generates nginx.conf configuration for Nginx reverse proxy.
    Supports: routing, load balancing, rate limiting, basic auth,
    headers, CORS, passive health checks.

    Limitations:
    - No active health checks (Nginx Plus only)
    - JWT auth requires OpenResty/Lua
    - Circuit breaker requires Lua
    """

2. Nginx Configuration Schema¶

Upstream Block (Load Balancing):

upstream backend_service {
    # Load Balancing Algorithm
    least_conn;  # oder: ip_hash, hash $request_uri consistent

    # Backend Servers mit Gewichtung
    server api-1.internal:8080 weight=2 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    server api-2.internal:8080 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;

    # Passive Health Check
    # max_fails: Nach wie vielen Fehlern wird Server als down markiert
    # fail_timeout: Wie lange wird Server als down betrachtet
}

Server Block:

href="#__codelineno-2-1">server { listen 80; server_name api.example.com; # Rate Limiting Zone (global definition) limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=api_limit:10m rate=100r/s; location /api/v1 { # Rate Limiting limit_req zone=api_limit burst=200 nodelay; limit_req_status 429; # Basic Auth auth_basic "Protected Area"; auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd; # Request Headers proxy_set_header X-Request-ID $request_id; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; # CORS add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://app.example.com" always; add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS" always; add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type, Authorization" always; add_header Access-Control-Max-Age 86400 always; # OPTIONS Preflight if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') { return 204; } # Response Headers add_header X-Frame-Options "DENY" always; add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always; # Proxy to Upstream proxy_pass http://backend_service; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Connection ""; # Timeouts proxy_connect_timeout 5s; proxy_send_timeout 60s; proxy_read_timeout 60s; } }
